Barcelona Sightseeing The Best of Gaudí Tour Barcelona Bus Turistic Art and architecture are to Barcelona what fish is to chips: they’re both good individually but put them together and you might just have perfection. Modernista buildings need to be seen to be believed, while Gothic buildings try to trick you with grim facades. You’ll definitely find this the best way to get the lay of the land, and due to the frequency, it’s the only transport you’ll need all day. It’s the easiest way to absorb some history and tick off the city highlights in one go before you head back to the areas that really took your fancy. Skip The Line Sagrada Familia Explore La Sagrada Familia on a 1.5 hour skip-the-line tour. With a knowledgeable local guide, head straight past the long entrance lines to learn all about the UNESCO-listed cathedral and its charismatic creator, Antoni Gaudí. Visit the museum to see its gorgeous artifacts. Spanish Cooking Class A definite highlight when travelling is experiencing the local food and drink. Expand your memories by discovering the secrets of Spanish traditional cuisine. Learn how to cook authentic typical dishes then reproduce them for your family and friends when you get back home. Barcelona Card This is worth every Euro: it’s packed full of free tickets and discounts to different attractions, museums, leisure facilities, nightclubs, shops, restaurants and entertainment across the city. You also never need to pay for any bus or Metro ride with this baby. 17
